Ten years ago, Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center (CPMC) and the University of Virginia Medical Center (UVAMC) partnered to bring the “Project Upstart” program to Culpeper. Project Upstart is an American Heart Association program driven locally by David Burt, MD, of UVAMC. The program was designed to standardize care for heart attack patients – especially those with a very specific type of heart attack, called a STEMI.

The Nov. 7 election results have the potential to reshape many of the issues currently being discussed in healthcare policy, especially regarding expanding coverage. According to exit polls, healthcare was a top-tier issue in voters’ minds. While Democrats did pick up several seats in the Virginia House of Delegates, Republican control of both bodies of the legislature remains intact, albeit by a razor-thin margin. As it stands currently, and pending a handful of recounts, Republicans have a 51-49 majority in the House of Delegates and a 21-19 majority in the Senate.
